A fault detecting system adapted for detecting whether a occupants protective apparatus, e.g., an air bag apparatus, seat belt apparatus or rear-end collision preventing apparatus installed in a vehicle, particularly an automobile, is in a normal condition. The system comprises means for detecting the occurrence of a fault or faults in an occupants protective apparatus, means for storing the fact that the occurrence of a fault has been detected by the detecting means, and means for preventing the operation of occupants protective apparatus actuating means as long as the storage means retains its stored content, whereby misoperation of the occupants protective apparatus due to any faulty condition is prevented.
